Will this setup work? Currently running 2 E9s off the sub panel on 20A breakers.

I am unsure about:

Main panel, is that enough amps or should I have a new main panel installed?

Main to sub breaker, 50A enough?
Wire gauge main to sub?

Sub panel, 2 30A breakers enough?
Wire gauge sub panel to PDUs?

If you ask "Will I die?", it means -----> go hire a professional qualified electrician.

Yep.  If you're in the United States, and your structure is insured.  You want to hire a qualified electrician and obtain the necessary permits to perform electrical work, period.

I am currently running 2 S9s on one 20amp 240 Breaker with Nema6 receptacles. The APW3  runs 1600 watts. 1600 watts÷240v = 6.6 amps. You can run 2 S9s no problem. 3 S9s will be too much and keep your headroom.

I would not attempt a panel upgrade but replacing a breaker is not something Id call an electrician for.  It is already set up minus the PDUs, unused 220 into basement. Im trying to figure out if it will be pushing it to run 6 S9s. If Im gona need a panel upgrade I wont bother getting PDUs.
